Magnolias are making a comeback with the help of SBBlooms refreshed Shelbie Collection

It seems like Magnolias bring back vivid memories for so many. Maybe that’s because it’s an unmistakable flower or perhaps because they’re just so widespread and abundant in many areas. If Magnolias are something you want to incorporate into your wedding day for whatever reason, we’re here to share some inspiration to fuel your wedding planning!

Introducing The Shelbie Collection. Our sweet southern tradition gets a modern refresh with this fun retake on a classic floral selection. Styled with pops of orange to complement the natural golden hues and unexpected disco balls. We’ve reimagined the persona of this classic collection. She’s fun, bold and adventurous! Here’s how you can incorporate magnolias in your wedding day flowers and decor.

The Bridal Bouquet

Choose a chic and classic wedding bouquet composed of magnolias and complementary floral varieties, including beautiful open and closed magnolias, paired perfectly with white camellias and gardenias. Lush magnolia leaves with emerald and golden hues mixed with deep evergreen camellia leaves create the perfect greenery backdrop for this sophisticated white and green floral look.

Choose a look that best suits your style. A traditional round gathering or a statement garden-cut bouquet with an asymmetric shape and organic feel. Either bouquet highlights the natural beauty of the magnolia perfectly.

Bridesmaid Bouquets

Pair your maids with a scaled-down bouquet. Magnolias are known for being very delicate and browning easily, but not to worry with these premium silk flowers. They’ll look real and be picture-perfect all day and night long! In fact, silk is the only way to go when choosing to use Magnolia flowers for the wedding day.

We paired the Shelbie Bridesmaid bouquet and Shelbie posy with beautiful copper satin dresses from our friends at Revelry, to enhance the undertoned warmth of the lush magnolia leaves.

Centerpieces

Creating gorgeous table arrangements for your wedding has never been easier with SBBlooms’ pre-arranged centerpieces and decor. What you see on our website is exactly what you can expect to receive upon your delivery! So, with each Shelbie centerpiece, your table will be full of gorgeous open magnolias, camellias, and gardenias. Opt for our scented paper at checkout and your guests will get a trace of the delicious gardenias!

We styled the various sizes of Shelbie centerpieces with wooden and iron candlesticks, real oranges, and disco balls for a bold flourish! Napkins, plates, and charges remained neutral in black and cream with jute textures, to allow the florals to take center stage.

Ceremony Install 

Everybody loves a dramatic wedding ceremony set-up. Fresh floral installs need to be completed hours in advance, and with delicate blooms such as magnolias and camellias, they’ll be past their prime once the nuptials start. With SBBlooms’ premium silk blooms, the ceremony space can be evolved in no time with our Shelbie garland, grand centerpieces, and aisle markers with the added benefit of remaining unbothered throughout the event. The best part? Everything can be re-used at the reception!

Want to recreate this stunning Magnolia install? Start by placing a Shelbie grand centerpiece on the ground and wrap the base of the centerpiece with a Shelbie garland. Next, place two more grand centerpieces in the middle of the mantle and start weaving four Shelbie garlands through the arrangements. Use a command hook to attach one side of the garland at a high point, while leaving the opposite side to hang freely off the side for an organic look. Add in Shelbie aisle markers and our magnolia garland to fill in spaces and finish the look by lining your aisles with our Shelbie aisle markers. 

Cake Decor

As a finishing touch, enhance your cake decor with gorgeous open magnolias and camellias for a cohesive look throughout the event. Before putting the stems in your cake, have your photographer capture beautiful flat-lay photos with your invitations and sentimental items to remember the day's details. When the night is over, keep the stems for years to come and hold memories close to your heart!

Something Borrowed Blooms’ Creative Director; Molly, shares all the floral details from her intimate wedding in Sonoma County

Hey there, Molly here! I’m the Creative Director for Something Borrowed Blooms and my partner Jeff and I got married this past August. To say our wedding was a dream come true, is an understatement. We said ‘I do’ at the most romantic, secluded, property in Santa Rosa, California; the Pythian House. We both imagined an intimate wedding outdoors filled with our closest family and friends and of course, gorgeous florals and decor to enhance the event. Thankfully with the help of SBBlooms, we were never worried about our wedding looking amazing!

Keep reading to learn all the details about our wedding!

My partner Jeff and I got engaged in September 2021 on our friend's sailboat off the coast of Long Beach, California. We started our planning journey by researching venues throughout central California because we both agreed the venue setting and mood were important to us. We had both imagined something outdoor, but couldn't see much further into the future so we thought a road trip to see my grandparents in Santa Rosa might help steer us in the right direction. We ended up choosing the Pythian House, an absolutely enchanting property nestled into a redwood grove, neighboring stunning Sonoma County vineyards. Thankfully with the help of SBBlooms, we were never worried about our florals or decor looking amazing!

With the added level of choosing a destination location, relying on SBBlooms was an easy choice. I loved having control over our vision at every step of the way and being able to make edits when we changed our minds. It also really helped manage my stress knowing exactly what we were getting, and that we could count on it arriving straight to our venue, ready to go. I knew we wanted to have a beautiful and dramatic floral moment for our ceremony but just couldn’t imagine spending a fortune on something so temporary. Choosing SBBlooms helped us allocate our budget so we could have a more special dining experience with our guests and that was priceless.

For the Rehearsal Dinner 

We had our rehearsal dinner on a stone terrace on the south side of our wedding venue property, the Friday evening before. We decided on a sweeping 40ft wooden farm table, trimmed with Olivia Garland and White Glass votives for added ambiance. We loved the soft color and olive elements that the Olivia collection featured and it complimented our location perfectly.

The Ceremony 

Our ceremony took place on the main lawn of the property in front of the grove of Redwood trees. The area is full of lush grass, ferns, flowers, and massive redwood trees so I wanted to choose a collection that felt almost native to the area but of course still personal to us. With blue being a big color in the whole affair, the Millie Collection felt like the natural choice. Fun fact, my husband Jeff is a photographer and shot our Bianca Collection campaign this year in Santa Barbara. Jeff was so impressed by the ground arch we built for the shoot that he actually requested we do something similar for our wedding.

While building my order I knew I wanted to elaborate slightly on the original arch, and perhaps open it and make it more organic, so I added some extra garland for added drama. I arrived at the venue the morning of the wedding, unpacked our pieces, and assembled our grounded arrangement in 15 minutes with the Grand Centerpieces and Garland. It was the most peaceful I felt the entire day. The big, gorgeous delphinium stems and textural lilac blew our guests away, and left them wondering what other magic we might have in store beyond this gorgeous illusion.  

The Reception

For our dinner reception, we wanted to highlight the three massive, gorgeous live-edge wooden tables built by the artist who owns the property. And because we selected family-style dining, we chose to cluster arrangements of fresh blooms in vignettes along each table. 

While producing an event in a destination, I like to do my best to source and support local artists and vendors. So Friday morning, we took a drive out to The Happy Dahlia Farm in Petaluma to find the gorgeous stems that filled the Modern Bud vases and built my Bridal bouquet. 

I found my dream dress as a final sample from french designer A La Robe on the floor of LOHO Bride Los Angeles. The turning point for my mom and I was when we added the incredible pleated tulle veil from Danielle Frankel. I paired it with a vintage heart-shaped pearl necklace from my grandmother and live floral earrings made by my best friend's mother Stacey. Who also lovingly made my fresh floral bouquet, boutonnieres, and corsages. Stacey taught me nearly everything I know about floral design, so it was really important to me to include her imagination. She finished my fresh stem bouquet with satin and velvet Honey Silks ribbons. We of course repurposed our Olivia garland from the rehearsal dinner to trim the stone dance floor and accent our polaroid guestbook table. The mixture of fresh and faux was so complimentary!

I’ve got to say, my favorite detail had to be our incredible cake by my dear friend Elias of Salty Queen Cakes who matched the color to our 1968 Porsche we drove from Long Beach, 1200+ miles for the occasion. A cake of such elegance required a dress change into this incredible Cult Gaia feather number I hunted down on Poshmark for a quarter of the price, dreams really do come true. 

We often get questions on the return process, so I wanted to leave you with a tip here as well. We scheduled a pickup with FedEx for the following business day, and all our flowers were picked up directly from the venue. It was seamless and the venue owners appreciated the convenience. I love that our florals from our special day will be refreshed and recycled for the next couple to enjoy just as much as we did!

Premium silk flowers from Something Borrowed Blooms ‘wow’ guests at David’s Bridal event

Our team hit the road this fall to participate in the largest bachelorette party of all time - David’s Bridal’s First-Annual NashBlast. Hosted in Bachelorette capital of the world, Nashville, TN, the event took place at the Viralish House hosted by TV’s Kaitlyn Bristowe with an exclusive limited edition collaboration with DanielXDiamond.

When the David’s Bridal team reached out to us with interest in collaborating, we were immediately intrigued. We’re always open to showcasing our premium silk wedding flowers and the trip to Nashville was an added bonus. The team envisioned an over-the-top floral display to compliment their high-contrast color palette of black, white, silver, and hot pink. And we knew how to accomplish just that!

The Vision

Our creative director tackled the design project in such a fun way. She thoughtfully curated a combination of three complementary floral collections and introduced them separately into three phases of the party - The front entry, indoors, and outdoors space. As guests progressed throughout the party, she envisioned the florals mimicking the tone.

Featured collections included The Audrey Collection to welcome guests at the front entry with a clean and polished look. The Gemma Collection inside the party for a bold and impactful statement. And finally, The Kinsley Collection outdoors where the heart of the party took place for a fun and playful vibe.

The Front Entry

@gracekirkpatrickphotography

Audrey garland and centerpieces scoured the grand staircase approaching the mansion's double doors, which made for the perfect area to tie in a fun balloon arch! Our team started by placing Audrey Grand Centerpieces on each step. From there, they continued intertwining the lush and full Audrey garland throughout the centerpieces. Take a look at the complete install, isn’t she dreamy?

Indoors

Upon entry, guests were welcomed with charcuterie and a plethora of hors d’oeuvres. The entire spread was accented with bright and bold bougainvillea from our Gemma Collection. But it didn’t stop there, Our Gemma collection was the main focal point for a selfie mirror as well. 

The installment started with our team attaching one Gemma garland to the bottom of the mirror with command hooks. They placed a Gemma grand centerpiece on the ground right next to the mirror. To create the waterfall look, our team connected garlands up the mirror and wrapped them around the base of the grand centerpieces. This resulted in a super fun selfie space for guests to capture beautiful photos.

Outdoors

Spade & Sparrows, Kaitlyn Bristowe’s signature wine brand, as well as goodies from Dew Edit, her brand for hair scrunchies and accessories were displayed throughout the outside area. Of course, we added floral elements to make it fun and festive! The scrunchie display was accented with Kinsley garland draping down the sides for an added floral element.

Flanking each side of the bar with Kinsley Grand centerpiece made for an impactful burst of color. We added in our Pink Plume Sprays for some added texture and height. And who doesn’t love feathers!?

The Outcome

We couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome. We may be a little biased, but we think the florals stole the show! Completing this install with fresh florals would have taken quite the budget - think like, tens of thousands of dollars! But with premium silk florals from Something Borrowed Blooms this over-the-top, Instagram-worthy floral display was affordable and easy to assemble. If you're looking for high-impact florals for a wedding or any event, look no further. This event is proof that Something Borrowed Blooms is the answer.

XOXO, 

The SBBlooms Team

Brianna and Steven share all the details of their wedding flower experience with Something Borrowed Blooms.

@ashleyardenphotography

True love always finds a way, and that’s especially true for friends turned lovers; Brianna and Steven! The couple celebrated their special day with family and friends along with their two beautiful children by their side. From the venue to the flowers, the day was everything Brianna wanted and more.

Keep reading to find out how SBBlooms Bride, Brianna, styled the wedding of her dreams using the bold and beautiful Gemma Collection.

Price, convenience, and sustainability were the most important factors in a wedding flower vendor for the couple. 

“We of course had a budget to stick to, but at the same time, I didn’t want to sacrifice the vision I had for the wedding, with florals being a huge part of it. I wanted affordability, beautiful flowers, and the ability to repurpose them from the ceremony to reception - all of which we got from SBBlooms.”

It's no secret fresh wedding flowers are a considerable expense. And unfortunately for couples planning during the wedding boom, the price increase driven by supply and demand can be too much to bear.

“I couldn’t imagine paying thousands of dollars for flowers that would inevitably die or be thrown out at the end of the night. It made sense to go with silk, and being able to rent them too was even better!  Additionally, I really wanted to line the ceremony aisle with flowers, and the only way I could do that affordably was with SBBlooms.”

With modern colorfulness in mind, the Gemma Collection was exactly what Brianna and Steven were looking for to create their wedding day vision. The Gemma Collection resembles the natural beauty of an Italian sunset with its warm gold and pink color palette. The collection features a beautiful mix of traditional florals and modern greenery including golden dutchess roses, trailing peach spray roses, cream English roses, along with lush bougainvillea, pittosporum, and magnolia leaves. 

“Although the more traditional, white bouquet is pretty, I wanted flowers that more uniquely represented me. The Gemma bridal bouquet made a statement but in such a naturally beautiful way. The warm gold and pink colors are the perfect combos for a modern and romantic wedding.” 

Bridesmaids used the Gemma Posies while the groomsmen sported the matching Gemma Boutonnieres, which accented the marigold bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen ties perfectly! 

We especially love how Brianna was able to repurpose flowers from the ceremony to the reception. Following the ceremony, the couple moved all Gemma garland and Grand Centerpieces to their sweetheart table and added classic candlesticks for an elevated look. Multi-purpose flowers pulling double duty is such a smart way to extend your floral budget.

Brianna also created the most adorable ring bear presentation. Jeremiah, the couple's 1-year-old son, was included in the wedding party procession as ring bearer in a floral adorned wagon accented with Olivia Garland.

Down to every detail, Brianna planned a beautiful and cohesive celebration of their love.

“Something Borrowed Blooms was amazing! The website was super user-friendly and the exclusive Facebook group so helpful during the planning process. The entire process from ordering to returning was as seamless as possible.”

Congratulations Briana and Steven! We’re so honored to have been a part of your special day!

Wedding Flower Stylist, Kelly, shares her dream wedding along with all the floral details from Something Borrowed Blooms

Hello there, Kelly here! I wear many hats throughout the workday at Something Borrowed Blooms, but 1x1 floral styling is one of my favorite parts. If you’ve signed up for a Live Styling Session chances are we’ve met. I married the man of my dreams back in May at the cutest chapel in Louisiana, with our baby boy by our side. Day in and day out, I help couples with their wedding flower visions, but today I’m super excited to share mine with you.

Keep reading to learn how we pulled off the fairytale wedding of our dreams!

Hunter and I got engaged in December of 2020 and I placed my order for my wedding flowers with Something Borrowed Blooms the very next day! I secured the items I knew I absolutely needed (Bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, and a couple of garlands). And I knew how easy it was to edit my order after placing it, so I didn’t hesitate to start my order immediately.

In the midst of planning our big elaborate wedding, we were pleasantly surprised to find out we were expecting. At this time all wedding plans were put on hold until our bundle of joy arrived. Luckily the floral terms were very flexible, so I was able to push our event date out to a year until we made our final decision on a date. After deciding on May 14th, 2022 I requested for my event date to be changed in the system and added additional items for our new plans all through my customer portal. It was that easy!

Yes, Something Borrowed Blooms was an obvious no-brainer for me!  Every day, I see firsthand how cost-effective, stress-free, and convenient it is to rent your wedding flowers, so how could I go any other way!? If you’re on the fence about renting your wedding flowers. Do a little research and you’ll quickly see why this is the most cost-effective and beautiful wedding flower choice on the market.

I chose to mix two collections together to create the flowers of my dreams - The Bianca and The Wren Collections. The Bianca Garden Cut Bridal Bouquet was the perfect choice for my personal flowers, but I loved everything in The Wren Collection for everything else. I also loved the idea of mixing collections because it felt unique to me.

The Ceremony

For our ceremony, we welcomed our guests with a sign accented with two Wren aisle markers outside of the chapel. We stacked multiple Wren garlands on the altar for an overflowing orchid install. We used two Wren grand centerpieces on tall stands and two on short stands to create a stunning focal point for the exchange of our vows. We scattered black iron candlesticks on the altar behind us for a touch of ambiance, which was just dreamy! These paired perfectly with the ornate gold candlesticks provided by the venue. I often hear brides going back and forth on mixing metals, but I say go for it! It creates dimension and looks intentional when done right.

The Reception

We moved the grand centerpieces over to the reception area after the ceremony. I love how the flowers can serve double duty - again helping to keep the overall cost down! The grand centerpieces were placed on both sides of our greenery wall with a ‘Cheers’ neon sign, right in front of the dance floor. Our family-style dining tables were decorated with centerpieces from the Wren and Bianca Collection. Mix-matched china from Pure Vintage Rentals gave that chic-vintage look I was going for. We moved the black iron candlesticks from the altar to the table and scattered them throughout with the sunburst votives. We also moved the Wren garlands from the ceremony around the cake table and the sweetheart table, where Hunter and I shared our first meal together as husband and wife.

SBBlooms Tip: If you don’t have a wedding coordinator, task an eager-to-help friend or family member to move decor from the ceremony space to the reception. 

I wanted a budget-friendly dress that I felt beautiful and comfortable in, especially since having our baby back in October. After endless scrolling, I found the dress of my dreams on Showpo.com! The ‘Put a Ring on it’ dress fit me like a glove and only a couple hundred dollars. I paired it with pearl drop earrings and a studded veil from Etsy for an elegant and classic look. The Bianca Bridal bouquet (garden-cut) was the perfect touch to complete my bridal look.

Using the Wren cake cluster and Honeysilk ribbon helped create those Pinterest-worthy detail shots! The welcome sign was moved to the entrance of the tent where our audio guest book from Ring-a-Ding was stationed. Using this fun alternative to a traditional guest book will forever be something we cherish! All of our friends and family got to leave us voicemails and they were so fun to listen to.

At the end of the night, the provided return checklist was used to ensure everything was accounted for and packed back up. It was simple and beautiful in every way. And now I can personally attest to the savings, convenience, and sustainability that Something Borrowed Blooms offers.

I hope you all enjoyed my wedding details as much as I love seeing your wedding dreams come to life. If we’ve met in a styling session or via customer service, drop a note below to say Hi!

Green hues have been trending for some time now, but there is an underutilized shade of green that’s taking the focal point. Olive is here just in time for the most popular wedding season. Shades of merlot and ice pink compliment olive green and complete this alluring combination. 

Our Stella Collection is taking center stage with the NEW Stella Bridal Bouquet (Garden-cut). A stunning new bridal bouquet addition made entirely of wine and marsala peonies and ranunculus. Hints of eucalyptus create dimension as the shape creates beautiful movement. The longer-than-average stems truly create the ‘fresh from the garden’ look. Add in bright pink florals like our Gemma garland to add a dramatic pop of color.

A wild mix of eucalyptus accented with antique beige and creamy linen is what makes our Taylor Collection our most versatile look.

Keep reading to be inspired by some of our favorite ‘custom’ Something Borrowed Blooms wedding flower looks.

Periwinkle and Blush

A soft and elegant pastel color palette has been a huge trend this past season! So much so, that it's safe to say our Millie Collection has been having a real MOMENT. Our Brides have been getting creative by adding other products to the arrangements to complete their vision.

Intertwining our Peony garland with the Millie garland will create a stunning garden-inspired look. With the help of some zip-ties and clippers, hanging this on a pergola or arch takes little to no time at all and can be used again at the reception!

SBBlooms Bride, Elizabeth added fresh light pink roses to her Mille Bridal Bouquet (Garden-cut) for some added color. But you can recreate this look by adding our Pink Rosebuds (Set of 12). Simply add the short stems to the bouquet and you’re good to go!

Dried Neutrals

Our Wren Collection embodies a modern and neutral color palette with subtle hints of color. Adding our Dried Cream, Tan, and Pink pampas grass bundles to this collection's arrangements can turn this contemporary floral collection into a boho-chick look in seconds.

Pair with warm colors like SBBlooms Bride Toni, for a Pinterest-worthy aesthetic.

Bold and Lush

One of our favorite mix-match duos is the Nina and Laurel Collections! For brides who want more greenery in the gorgeous sunset-inspired collection, we always recommend mixing in our ‘all-greenery’ collection, The Laurel. SBBlooms Bride, Diana decided to do a little DIY after receiving her blooms and attach the Laurel Posies on the back of the Nina Posies with handy zip-ties. This creates the illusion of the two collections as one, and adds the perfect amount of greenery!

After the ceremony, she detached the two posies from each bridesmaid and added the single posies in vases for her centerpieces… How genius?!

The possibilities are ENDLESS! Check out our collection of loose stems. You might find something that takes your wedding flower collection of choice over the top. Check out the video below to see a few combinations of our bridal bouquets and loose stems.

Skip the big wedding and opt for an intimate ceremony with these three helpful tips

Following your engagement, the time will come to decide what kind of wedding you and your partner want. Do you want an elaborate wedding filled with hundreds of your closest family and friends? Or, would you rather have an intimate ceremony that includes the two of you in a place you find yourself dreaming about? If you answered yes to the second question, eloping is calling your name and you will NOT regret it.

Keep reading to learn our best tips and tricks for an elopement you’ll never forget!

1. Rent the Flowers

Just because the ‘guest list’ will be small, doesn’t mean you can’t have beautiful floral arrangements for your big day. A fresh flower bridal bouquet can cost anywhere between $175-$250 depending on the location and seasonality of the blooms. With Something Borrowed Blooms, you can RENT a premium silk bridal bouquet for just $65. Want to keep your bouquet? Purchase it and we’ll make one fresh, never before used, just for you!

Showcase the Bridal bouquet in your bedroom or purchase a watercolor keepsake to have and hold forever. 

2. Save on the Dress

Any white dress will do! Whether it’s short or long, the most important thing is that you feel beautiful in it. #SBBloomsBride Sara opted for a cute mini white dress for her courthouse wedding that she found on E-bay and paired with our bright and colorful Kinsley Bridal bouquet for a fun and eclectic look.

Following their intimate ceremony, they held a beautiful dinner reception with friends and family and decorated the space with coordinating Kinsley centerpieces to accent the tables.  

3. Pick your Dream Location

If a courthouse wedding isn’t your groove, choose a destination you and your partner have always wanted to visit. As a bonus, you’ll already be in your honeymoon spot once you say your “I do’s”!

There’s no better time to utilize our extended 10-day rental period than for a destination wedding. Our 10-day rental period allows couples to receive their blooms domestically and travel with them wherever they wish to exchange their vows. How cool? Couples can receive their wedding flowers in the comfort of their home with a 10-day period to travel freely across the country, or internationally, and back before returning your blooms. The convenience of a 10-day rental also alleviates the stress of finding a local FedEx when you’re in an unfamiliar city.

If you’re renting a bridal bouquet and boutonniere or a full assortment of products, you can’t beat the price of our rent and return wedding flowers!

With these helpful tips in mind, you’re ready to plan a perfect elopement on any budget!

Happy planning!

Our most luxurious silk wedding flower collection gets a brand-new name

@sherondaphoto

Say hello to Wren, formerly known as our Wtoo Collection and one of our most popular collections. The Wren Collection is a statement in itself and embodies luxury and modernism all at an affordable price. So much so, we’ve decided to showcase the wedding of Kaitlin and her now-husband, Joe. With premium silk white orchids, blush, and beige duchess roses it’s no wonder this collection is a showstopper at every wedding!

Keep reading to find out how SBBlooms Bride; Kaitlin styled the wedding of her dreams using the Wren Collection.

When planning for wedding flowers, Kaitlin and Joe's number one priority was making sure they got the ‘most bang for their buck’. They wanted to keep costs at a minimum without sacrificing quality. Of course, this is where Something Borrowed Blooms came in!

“I rented with SBBlooms for several reasons. The prices were outstanding compared to the prices and quotes I saw for real florals and they look just as real. I also loved that SBBlooms also offers decor so I was able to get the gold stands I needed for my grand centerpieces and more right on their site which was convenient and made it a one-stop-shop. The customer service team is so great and helped me with any questions I had; they even offered their suggestions and ideas. Lastly, I love that they offer preview packs beforehand so I was able to see for myself how real the florals looked in advance. It was important that I knew what I'd have on my day and wouldn't be surprised in any way.“

With the couple’s elegant venue and cinnamon rose satin bridesmaid dresses from our friends at Revelry, the Wren Collection was a no-brainer. The Wren collection makes for a dramatic statement with its natural design of overflowing blooms. The collection includes a beautiful mix of white, cream, linen, and soft blush open rose varieties, paired with white and pale peach orchids. This premium silk orchid collection provides affordable luxury and design for all.

“I just felt like it had to be Wren! I know greenery is super popular, but I felt like this would be unique and give a nice, luxe touch. I also loved the asymmetrical look that they have.”

“I couldn't have asked for a better experience! As mentioned, I loved the look of my florals and got several compliments from guests; they looked amazing in all of our wedding pictures, too. The process was super stress-free, I received everything on time and it was so easy to simply ship them back after the wedding and see that they weren't going to waste. From start to finish, I knew I could rely on SBBlooms and that if I had any questions or concerns I could voice it with their team and get a helpful response. I definitely recommend them to anyone considering using them for their next wedding or event!”
